AI has and will improve at a much greater rate than human mathematicians. So it's really a question of if AI gets good enough to tackle it before any human does. It doesn't look like humans will be solving it anytime soon but where will AI be in 2 years ?
Hell, it looks like at least one other result will be announced soon too.
I don’t know the details of RH, it might very well be solved soon, but it could also be impossible or just so difficult that even orders of magnitude more intelligent AI can’t solve it even.
If it is impossible to prove, it might be possible to prove that it is impossible to prove, or that itself might be difficult or impossible…
Better obviously means better, like how they became better than they were 6 months and a year ago.
e.g. If someone said "this is the worst they'll ever be" in response to some writing with obvious LLM cliches in 2024, I'm not convinced that prediction was actually correct.
The focus of OpenAI/Anthropic pivoted aggressively to the agentic performance arms race instead of making a more human sounding chatbot so regressions in writing ability aren't really a concern anymore if agentic benchmarks improve.
The first time I heard a recommendation to use Claude was specifically because it sounded much more "human" and natural than ChatGPT. Fast forward to now and idiosyncratic Claude-isms repeated every other sentence and its convoluted verbosity has become a widely mocked meme.

2024 creative writing prose was...the last few versions have stalled, but I think they're still better than 2024.
